Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

If you want good bass and transient response, then...

you should be absolutely certain that the first stage is VERY well
filtered, even below 20Hz. Hammond makes a small 60-henry, 8mA
chome which sells for about $10 each U.S. If you feed each 1st stage
with one of these, along with a minimum of 100uf filter capacitance
(prefferably 200uf or so), then you may totally transform the sound
of your amp. Seriously --it makes a HUGE difference, and most SETs,
(even otherwise good commercially made SETs) somehow seem to
over-look LF stability/ feedback issues.

Try it, and you will thank me.

Good luck!
